This new Watergate scandal

[Captain Leafheart]

Hear about this latest CIA/Govt. scandal where officials and cronies and whatever are regularly gathering in a suite in the good ole Watergate hotel to gamble and do the nasty and smoke CIGARS?!
When the story broke and the "media" listed those horrible activities, you JUST KNOW they were refering to Habanos but wouldn't say so, it being a treasonable offense and all. I mean, why else even mention them smoking at all?
That's the one thing thing about this story that pisses me off, that I bet these GOVERNMENT jokers are openly smoking ISOM's (among other transgressions of course but I don't object to gambling and SEX!).
Can't we nail these bastids to the wall for that alone? Maybe then this prohibition would go away?
Know what I'm sayin'? :angry:

Are you suggesting the government prosecute these men who serve you for doing something you do so that you can do it legally?!?

I don't get the logic. ???

Yeah I heard about this.
It was all over the news here a couple of days ago.

Yawn, just another day in our nations capital.

YES!



And they don't serve me.
They serve themselves.

Sounds like my kinda fun, to be honest (except that I'm a one-woman man). Would anyone care if these were just guys down the street?

If this former Texas congressman is to be believed, they only smoked Dominican:

Mr. Wilson said that the gatherings were small affairs of seven or eight card players that always had ample supplies of Scotch, beer and Dominican cigars. "The only thing that took place there that was out of order was cigar smoking on a nonsmoking floor," Mr. Wilson said.
